So tell me....how can we afford to treat chronic disease when the diseases we suffer from are caused by corrupt food, environment, and corporate/government policies?

Back when I was young, we didn't have black lights to check every room for invisible germs. We didn't have air purifiers and steam cleaners and didn't vacuum every day because we were scared of dust (it's different if you have legitimate allergies to dust, obviously). We didn't wipe down every surface in our home several times a day with Lysol and bleach. We didn't carry antibacterial hand gel with us everywhere.
My grandmother said that you had to eat 7 pounds of dirt a year to be healthy. She was really onto something there.
